Wildlife activists have sought curbs and regulations on the Beladakuppe Mahadeshwara Jathra that will take place in the Hediyala range of Bandipur tiger reserve during November.
There are growing concerns over the scale and magnitude of the jathra this year as the authorities had banned the assembly of public and the temple was out of bounds for the devotees in 2020 and 2021 owing the pandemic.
